So what you're saying is, it's Venezuela's fault for being sanctioned and embargoed? Is it Cuba's fault? Was it Vietnam's fault for being attacked by the US? Is it a slave's fault for revolting when the slaver whips them back down?
We are talking about a modern dictator and the state of Venezuela today. Get your head out yo ass.
We're talking about imperial violence and the poverty it causes. Stop being a defensive child and answer the question. When a colony throws off it's chains, whose fault is it when the colonizer retaliates?

That's great, but now that you're here go ahead and answer the question. When a colonized country throws off it's chains, whose fault is it when the colonizer retaliates?
You're making the argument that Venezuela is poor not because of sanctions and embargos, but personal choices by a democratically elected leader that has promoted and carried out poverty alleviation campaigns and pushed for food security through large social programs.
This is fucking medieval peasant level thinking: "Venezuelas economy is bad because Madura doesn't have the mandate of heaven!"
